An optical receiver includes: a pre-amplifier to convert a current signal into a voltage signal; an LIA to amplify and limit an amplitude of the voltage signal; a transmission line connecting the pre-amplifier with the LIA; an AC coupling capacitor inserted in the middle of the transmission line or at an end of the transmission line; a termination circuit connected with the transmission line, for switching to a first resistance or a second resistance higher than the first resistance in response to a switching signal; and an AC load connected with the transmission line. The AC load is open in a low-frequency range of the voltage signal and having a resistance enabling impedance matching with the pre-amplifier and the transmission line in a high-frequency range of the voltage signal, wherein the termination circuit and the AC load are electrically connected in parallel.
